Fat Burning Foods

The food that we put into our bodies determine how we look and feel, today’s society is being consumed by the fast food industry and all for the sake of convenience. This alone plays a huge role in today’s increase in obesity and health problems. You are exactly what you eat, if you eat lots of junk food then you will look and feel that way. 

Fat loss is such a huge concern today that people are trying numerous diets, eating plans and fat loss programs to curb or prevent the effect of obesity. Unfortunately when it comes to food people have no clue as to what foods they should be eating and they are being led blindly by the media. 

What do we actually require food for? We require food for survival and I am sure you knew that but let me elaborate. The 3 main food sources are protein, carbohydrates and essential fats. 

Protein is the building block in our body, it is what muscle tissue and cells are made of, it is essential for building a strong immune system, cell construction and stabilizing insulin levels in our body. 

Carbohydrates is the primary source of energy in our body’s , carbohydrates is broken down to form glucose (blood sugar) which is then transported by insulin from the blood stream to areas of the body where energy is needed e.g. the muscle. 

Vegetables are starchy carbohydrates which improve digestion and boost the metabolism. 

Essential fats improves insulin sensitivity, essential for the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, for joint health, oxygen transfer, improves skin texture, increased metabolic rate and helps burn fat. 

For effective fat loss one should consume small balanced meals containing protein, natural carbohydrates and essential fats at regular intervals throughout the day (approximately every 3 waking hours). It takes the human body approximately 3 hours to fully digest and consume a meal thereafter the human body will look for other sources if food is not available, this includes breaking down protein to use as energy and this means breaking down cells and muscle tissue, in another words you will be cannibalizing yourself. 

Eating after every 3 hours has been proven both scientifically and through experience to boost metabolism. 

Some food examples: 

LEAN PROTEINS – Skinless chicken breast, skinless turkey breast, tuna packed in water, salmon, egg whites, lean beef, etc. 
NATURAL CARBOHYDRATES – Oatmeal, potatoes, lentils, brown rice, 100% whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, kidney beans, yam, sweet potato, etc. 
VEGETABLES – Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, lettuce, cucumber, mushrooms, green beans, peas, etc. 
ESSENTIAL FATS – Olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, etc.

What Effect Does Alcohol Have On The Human Body?

Small amounts of alcohol may have some benefits but large amounts or the abuse of alcohol will be detrimental to your health and physique. Now when I say small amounts I mean 1 glass per day, ( example a glass of wine or a glass of whisky) this has been proven to increase HDL (good cholesterol) in the body. This excludes the soft drinks or sweetened drinks that are sometimes added to alcohol.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting into shape then I would suggest not consuming any alcohol at all. Alcohol has 7calories per gram which makes it the second highest, second to fat which has 9 calories per gram. If you are on a calorie restricted diet then alcohol is just going to be extra calories that your body does not need, these are wasted calories and have no benefit.

Alcohol reduces the body’s ability to burn fat, the liver is responsible for metabolizing alcohol and fat, and alcohol prevents the liver from metabolizing fat, that’s because alcohol takes priority over fat. Alcohol is a toxin (poison) and it has to be detoxified by the body. Consuming alcohol has other risks like; damaged muscle cells, various heart and circulatory problems, effects the nervous system and brain, less efficient healing of injuries, it’s a diuretic which leads to dehydration, Numerous sexual dysfunctions like; loss of libido, reduced sperm formation, menstrual irregularities, and shrinkage of sexual organs. Alcohol also reduces the absorption of many vitamins like vitamin B which could lead to you becoming anemic.

The next time you consider consuming alcohol, take a look at some of the risks and ask yourself;  is this what I really need and want for my body? It is not going to be easy for some to stay away from alcohol; you need to create a new addiction, the addiction of having perfect health and physique.
